Modeling and Theory Support for Mid-IR

Abstract

The SLIDERS contract encompassed several research efforts within the Semiconductor Laser Branch of the Laser Division, Directed Energy Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory. The scope of this contract included development, design, fabrication, procurement, management, operations and maintenance of optical, electronic, and mechanical systems, subsystems, and components. Principal efforts included theory and concept development, design analysis, laboratory operations, and semiconductor laser and diode-pumped laser development, operation and maintenance. Efforts also included the development, procurement, and operation of instrumentation to evaluate and characterize laser systems. The objective of task order 3 was to provide modeling and theoretical analysis with the objective of increasing the power, brightness and operating temperature of mid-IR semiconductor lasers and laser arrays.
